[Freeipa-users] LDAP authentication for 3rd party

[Bartek Moczulski]

hi,
I've got a problem with using IPA as authentication source over LDAP.
Generally there are two approaches to LDAP authentication:
1. bind using admin account and read passwords from user objects (but in
ipa you cannot read passwords through ldap, right?)
2. "bind to authenticate" - service tries to log in to ldap with user's
credentials. If login is successful authentication is also succesful - this
approach does not work because you cannot login to IPA ldap using bare
username, you need a full LDAP DN.

Now, I've got a 3rd party application supporting both mentioned above
appoaches and the question is - how to make it work with ipa?

thanks in advance,
Bartek.
